"CBS This Morning" co-anchor Norah O'Donnell asked Goodell whether they NFL had seen the video from inside the elevator prior to Monday in an exclusive interview

"We had not seen any video tape of what occurred in the elevator. We assumed that there was a video, we asked for the video, we asked for anything that was pertinent, but we were never granted that opportunity," Goodell said.

More from the interview will air on "The CBS Evening News" at 6:30 p.m. ET Tuesday, and on "CBS This Morning" on Wednesday morning. Goodell talks more about Rice, and whether he believes his job is on the line now.
